Chapter 730 Attack on Jiangnan
Cao Pi died, and the soldiers and horses collapsed. In addition to Cao Pi, the remaining troops of the United Army were also severely damaged. Lu Mengshamoke and others led their troops to be severely damaged in the Sun, Moon and Five Elements Formation. Lu Meng and other soldiers were lucky enough to break through the siege. Lu Meng was hit by several arrows and headed straight for the Wu army camp in his own Wuling.
When he returned to the camp, Lu Meng sat on the ground and panted. Before he could rest, he heard the sound of killing outside the village faintly coming.
Under Cao Zhang's leadership, the Hebei cavalry continued to attack the camp!
The Southern Army's troops were basically defeated in the Sun, Moon and Five Elements Formation, and there was no resistance in the camp. Yuan's cavalry stepped on the horses, and the Southern Army fled in panic and basically had no strength to resist.
Cao Zhi and his group, along with the Five Tigers of Hebei and a group of generals, went straight to the main business with the Golden Sword!
When he arrived at the main business, Tian Feng took the initiative to open the curtain with his palm and entered the handsome tent!
Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Shamoke and others were all among them. When they saw the Five Tigers of Hebei, their eyes were pounding.
Tian Feng and others walked into the coach's tent, looked around and looked at the three of them, then sneered, and said to the soldiers behind them: "Come on, tied up! Take it away, go to Jiangling, and let them see their lord!"
Lu Meng and Shamoke were both dejected, while Lu Xun looked at Wuhu and Cao Zhi with contempt, and walked out of the handsome tent with great strides.
Cao Zhang looked at the escorted people and said, "If you want to behead such a thief, why bother escorting them to the general?"
Tian Feng touched his beard and said, "There are many families in Jiangdong. Only after they get it, can someone help the master to appease him. Nashamoke is the master of Wuxi Cave in Wuling and is deeply supported by the Southern tribe. Lu Xun and Lu Meng also have thousands of connections with the Jiangnan family. If they can be conquered, they will have a more effective result in the stability of the south in the future!"
Several people were talking, but a spy came to report that the Jiaozhou Shi family was defeated and led the participating troops to escape in Jiaozhou!
Tian Feng touched his beard and said, "Since you have already hit this place, don't take another second effort. Everyone help me to attack Jiaozhou in one fell swoop and pacify the entire border south!"
Cao Zhi nodded after hearing this and said, "But there is one thing I have always wanted to ask, we went to conquer Jiaozhou. The lord fought Jingzhou here, Zhao Yun fought Yizhou there, and now we are going to eradicate the remnants of Jiaozhou. Who is going to fight in the Eastern Wu Sun Quan?"
Tian Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Cao Gong has been training the naval army in the Bohai Sea a few years ago and building warships! He carefully prepared the naval army. The battle in Xia Pi was just a small test. Today, the navy army was already in battle. Leaded by Gan Ning, he took the Eastern Sea Road and went straight to the Yangtze River Estuary! He took Wu straight!"
Jiangnan Jianye City.
Since the beginning of the Jingzhou War, Jiangnan has not been idle. Sun Quan has been constantly supporting troops and food from Jiangnan to the east of Jingzhou. Of course, the war in Jingzhou has been constantly coming from the front line to the Eastern Wu.
The powerful generals of the Eastern Wu on various fronts of Jingzhou repeatedly failed. They even made many powerful generals such as Zhe Taishici, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai, which made Sun Quan feel very distressed.
He knew that if he had divided his troops, he would sooner or later be destroyed by Yuan Shang. Sun Quan sent envoys to communicate with Liu Bei repeatedly, hoping to reach an alliance front and fight Yuan Shang together. However, Liu Bei was worried about Guan Yu's death and never agreed to Sun Quan. However, the Shu army no longer became enemies with Eastern Wu now, which is a good thing.
During the reign of Jianye, Sun Quan's mansion.
The sky was already dark and the earth was already in a deep sleep. However, Sun Quan was not sleepy at all. He was still reviewing the official documents on allocating troops for Jingzhou in his study.
Sun Quan rubbed his head and looked worried. There were already many powerful generals from the Eastern Wu who entered Jingzhou. If he was to transfer people to the Western front at this moment, the remaining troops in Jiangnan would probably not be enough.
But if the troops were not sent, the front line of Jingzhou would be in a passive failure!
It's really a dilemma...
Just when I was having a headache, there was a crackling sound of footsteps outside the door, which seemed very hasty.
However, it was Sun Quan's personal waiter who came to the door of the study and hurriedly said, "Lord, Lord Zhang Zhao is outside the mansion, please pay a visit!"
"Zibu?" Sun Quan couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, and said, "Why did you come here late at night?......Call him in."
Soon, he heard the footsteps of "Pili Pulu" outside the door. Zhang Zhao rolled and crawled into Zhang Zhao's study room, his face pale and sweaty. He held a battle report in his hand, and his lips kept trembling. When he saw Sun Quan, he didn't even have a favor and said directly: "Lord, something is wrong!"
When Sun Quan saw Zhang Zhao's appearance, he knew that nothing good would be wrong without him speaking!
"Zibu, why are you panic?"
Zhang Zhao presented the battle report to Sun Quan. While Sun Quan looked, Zhang Zhao said, "Two days ago, a huge fleet of ships in the East China Sea went straight into the Yangtze River Estuary from the east to attack Qu'a's Yangtze River Port Alley. The army was huge and brave and good at fighting. After conquering Qu'a, there was no stop at all. He immediately turned to Wujun. The troops were fast. Xu Ji fought to the death and resisted desperately. He sent people to report to request reinforcements. Now Wujun is in danger, and I hope the lord will break quickly!"
Sun Quan looked at the battle report in his hand, and his sweat flowed down his neck.
"Where are the soldiers?" Sun Quan frowned and said hoarsely.
"From the East China Sea, there is a banner with the word Gan! It should be Yuan Shang's troops, and the leader should be Gan Ning, a general under Yuan Shang!"
Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said, "It's a great trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron, secretly conquering Chen Cang... Even the troops attacking our Eastern Wu are ready... Who else except Gan Ning?"
Zhang Zhao swallowed and whispered: "According to the words of the envoy, in addition to the leading naval commander Gan Ning, Yuan Shang's disciples Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Cao Chong, Yuan Mai and others were also accompanied, including Pang De, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Wang Shuang, Pu Yuan, Yan Yuan, Wen Tu, Li Tong, Zang Ba, Dian Man, Xu Yi and many other powerful generals!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Such a huge lineup seems to be really coming to pacify Jiangnan!"
Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan accompanied General Zhou to Jingzhou. How should we face the enemy now?"
Sun Quan shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid! Although there are many soldiers and horses in Jiangnan who have gone to Jingzhou, there are also many in Jiangnan. In addition to Zhou Tai who was defeated and withdrawn some time ago, there are dozens of generals such as Dong Xi, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Zhu Hua, Quan Zong, Song Qian, Jia Hua, He Qi, Li Yi, Xie Jing, Tan Xiong, etc. How can you be afraid of Gan Ning's common men?"
Zhang Zhao thought about it after hearing this, calmed down a little, nodded and said, "That's right."
Sun Quan suddenly stood up and said to the outside of the house: "Come here, send someone to send orders to the generals, so that they can come to the meeting hall to speed up the meeting!"
On the other hand, Sun Quan summoned a group of powerful generals of the Eastern Wu to discuss strategies to fight against the Yuan army's naval army. On the other hand, the Yuan army on the other side did not slacken at all. Under the leadership of Gan Ning, Yuan Shang's naval army attacked Wu County like a dragon and a tiger. Finally, before the reinforcements of the Eastern Wu arrived, they conquered Wu County. The prefect of the Wu army committed suicide and died, and the rest of their subordinates opened the city to surrender.
In this way, Gan Ning and other large groups of troops have a place to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River. The next goal is naturally to Jianye, the capital where Sun Quan is currently located in the West.
If we can conquer Jianye, the rest of Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other places will be easily pacified.
However, he had been wandering on the sea for a long time. Although the food was sufficiently prepared, it was still old grains and millet. He had long since eaten everyone with a pale face and thin skin. After taking down Wujun, Gan Ning immediately opened a warehouse and asked the soldiers to report for a meal before making a disposal.
In the Wujun Council Hall, the generals exchanged cups and ate a lot, which greatly relieved the pain of hunger that had been wandering on the sea for many days.
Everyone was having a great time, but a commander hurriedly ran into the hall and bowed to Gan Ning and said, "Report to the Governor of Gan! Rewards from the horses, Jianye, Sun Quan appointed General Zhou Tai as the Governor of Pingbei, temporarily took charge of all the troops and horses of the six counties in Jiangnan, summoned the warriors, and twenty of the generals under his command were as auxiliary. He chose the day to go to Wu County!"
"Bah!" Gan Ning held a chicken leg in his hand, spat hard while eating, gritting his teeth and said, "It's not good to eat for a meal! Who is Sun Quan's son who is the head coach? He just sent Zhou Tai to disgust me! This is clearly not a problem with me! It's intentional to make things difficult!"
On the left hand of Gan Ning, the general Pang De leisurely picked up the wine cup and took a sip of the wine, looked at Gan Ning, and smiled and said, "I heard from your tone, what kind of grudges do you have with Wu General Zhou Tai?"
Gan Ning waved his hand casually and said, "It's all the past. Many years ago, we were both water bandits. Although there were countless bandits in the Yangtze River, if we wanted to pick a few decent ones, at best, they would be the Jinfan thief Gan Ning and Jiu Zhou Tai... The so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, and they are enemies. We will not deal with them before we became thieves."
Pang De nodded suddenly when he heard this, without pursuing it, and said, "Zhou Tai is here to lead twenty generals of Eastern Wu. I think it is Sun Quan's full combat power left in Jiangnan, but I am afraid it is not easy to deal with..."
Gan Ning laughed and said, "If you are a veteran soldier, you will be covered by water and soil, what are you afraid of! The so-called twenty generals, I guess they are all bad. Even if you come all the people, what are you afraid of? If you are the powerful general who beat Guan Yu here, why are you afraid of them?"
Pang De didn't say anything when he heard this, but just took a sip of the water and wine, and remained silent.
Since the battle with Guan Yu, Pang De's bravery has begun to spread throughout the world. No matter what the inside story is, it is indeed a certain fact that Pang De defeated Guan Yu. Although he himself never mentioned this, he passed through ten and ten to hundreds. Now, Pang De's name is known to the south again.
